Three days ago, I launched a contest for *signed* copies of Shiver and Linger by Maggie Stiefvater.
The contest was live for 48 hours.
I dubbed it the “Wolves of Mercy Falls” giveaway and set it on its way.
I had no idea what I was in for.
Over the course of *two* days, 162 people entered the giveaway.
Those entrants tweeted, Facebooked and howled their way to 501 entries.
How *amazing* is that?
And, this lowly little blog went from 280-something followers to 420 followers!
Seriously, you guys rock!
Now comes the fun part — naming the winners!
To determine the winners, I made a spreadsheet with each entrant’s name listed one time for each of their entries. So, if you had six entries, your name was listed six times in the spreadsheet.
Then, I mixed the names up by sorting them randomly.
Finally, I used Random.org’s random number generator to come up with two numbers between 1 and 501.
Winner #1 is Tiffany!
Congrats, Tiffany! You will receive *signed* copies of Shiver and Linger, purchased by me for this giveaway.
Winner #2 is Reena!
Congrats, Reena! You will receive a copy of Linger, provided by Scholastic.
I’ve e-mailed both winners. They have 48 hours to respond and claim their prizes.
I had a TON of fun participating in the Got Books? Event.
I hope you guys enjoyed all of the giveaways from the participating blogs.
A *HUGE* thanks to GMR and The 1st Daughter for hosting this amazing event!
And thanks again to Scholastic for providing a book for this giveaway, and allowing me to participate in Maggie Stiefvater’s Linger Blog Tour.
Finally, thanks to everyone who entered! I am humbled by the response and I appreciate you all so much!
Thank you so much! My daughter just read Shiver yesterday and is going to love getting her hands on Linger.
congrats ladies!
i'm glad your contest was so successful 🙂
Congratulations everyone! So glad that you enjoyed the event as well….hope to see you in 2011!
